LIST ow x>ose:s. 



Decoctions, infusions, and \vaters have, for the most 
part, been omitted; they will be found classiiled at the 
end of the dose-list. Di ses enclosed in [ ] are emetic. 
Doses or preparations in ( ) are to be used with great 
caution. 

Preparations preceded by a t are non-oflicinal though 
most of them are in common use. 

Parke, Davis and Co., Manuracturing Chemists, Detroit, 
make all preparations in this list followed by a :;, 

The last dose is the maximum given and is too large 
for general use. 

The letter / has been omitted from before the sign, of 
fluid-drachm and fluid-ounce. 

Where, alphabetically, the first preparation of a drug 
throws the drug-name into the genitive form, it has been 
so written ; the other preparations following under that 
head : so also in rerard to the nominative ; any change to 
the nominative or gejiitive, as the case may require, will 
be patent to the reader.

EXTRACTA FLUIDA. (Fluid Extracts). All officinal 
extracts are of the uniform strength of sixteen troy ounces 
of the drug to the pint, and manufacturers have generally

followed this standard for the unoflicinal fluid extracts. 
This standard has been adoi)ted for the convenience 
of all concerned, as the different units of apothecarie's 
weight, and fluid measures correspond ; viz. one pint 
(sixteen fluid ounces) equals, in strength, 16 troy ounces. 
1 fluid ounce equals 1 troy ounce. 1 fluid drachm, 
equals 1 troy drachm. 1 fluid minim equals 1 troy grain. 
Hence, if the dose of the crude or powdered drug is 
luiown in grains^ the dose of the fluid extract may be 
correspondingly designated in ininims. 

Fluid extracts are the most convenient form of phar- 
maceutical representations of crude drugs ; being liable to , 
no deterioration by age, and being concentrated in form, 
the dose is much smaller and easier dii;pensed by the 
apothecary, and taken by the patient. They are especially 
adapted to the pocket-case of the physicians, the camp- 
chest and the ship hospital. Prepared by the large manu- 
facturers, they should be much more uniform in strength 
than the parcels of medicinal plants sold in the shop. 

In preparation all high degrees of heat should be 
avoided, as the delicate alkaloids and volatile oils of the 
plants are quickly decomposed or evaporated by such in- 
fluence. 

Precipitation. The precipitate may be either medicinal 
or non-medicinal matter, and is deposited because it is 
insoluble in the existing menstruum. Alcohol is recogni- 
zed as the most general solvent for the medicinal prin- 
ciples of plants, easily extracting and holding in solution > 
alkaloids, resins, oleo-resins and oils— and not acting on 
the starch or gummy matters. Diluted alcohol is a less 
powerful solvent for the above principles, but exerting 
considerable influence on the gummy matter; while 
water is used only for those drugs whose properties reside 
in their mucilaginous or gummy portions. Hence, if 
water be added to an alcoholic fluid extract, containing 
oils (as valerian or cubebs), or resins (as mandrake or 
cannabis Indica), or oleo-resins (as blue flag or capsicum), 
■a white precipitate, of the medicinal property, will imme-

diately form. Hence a precipitate lu these extracts should 
be regarded as a bad feature, sho\viiig a loss of value. 
Filtration should not be resorted to, but rather let the 
preparation be " well shaken when taken." On the con- 
trary, if alcohol is added to fluid extracts of weaker men- 
struiim, a precipitate will form coinposcd, generally, of 
starch, gum, or other inert substance, which is soluble in 
water, but is rejected by the stronger alcohol. Filtration 
in these cases will clear the liquid at only the expense of 
its bulk. Alcoholic fluid extracts, as above explained, are 
usually light colored and thin, that is, if prepared without 
heat. Diluted menstrua are darker colored and thicker 
in consistency, than the alcoholic. Souring or any decom- 
position is an evidence of too weak a menstruum, and 
thus alcohol is needed for preservation. Fluid extracts 
should be administered in flavored waters or aromatic 
elixirs, syrups or tinctures. Licorice is also a good 
adjuvant for concealing the taste of many nauseous 
drugs. 

TINCTURES. Tinctures are made from the drug by 
percolation. The officinal tinctures vary much, in 
strength, but the uuofficinal are regularly made according 
to the standard of two troy ounces to the pint. When 
preparing them from the fluid extract, bear in mind that 
one ounce of the drug is represented by one fluid ounce 
of the fluid extract. Then refer to the U. S. Pharmacopoeia 
for the standard number of grains of the crude drug. If 
the extract is non-officinal, use the standard of two fluid 
ounces of the fluid extract to the pint of tincture. For a 
menstruum, be guided by the character of the drug. Refer 
to the Dispensatory, and if its properties reside in oils, 
resins, oleo-resins or alkaloids, use the requisite quantity 
of strong alcohol. (This list includes Valeriana, cubebs 
mandrake, ginger, nux vomica, the narcotics, and many 
others.) If the properties are found to be soluble in. either 
water or alcohol, use diluted alcohol. In case the mixture 
is cloudy, be guided by the preceding remarks on fluid 
extracts. Don't sacrifice the quality of your tincture by

filtration to secure a handsome preparation, unless yon 
know the pr^cipllate to be worthless. Remember that 
oils or resins are not soluble in water, and will always 
precipitate when it is added to their solutions, and that 
alcohol will not solve gum and starch. 

These remarks apply equally well to the dispensing 
of prescriptions, and it is absurd for a druggist to 
expect a handsome (clear) preparation from a prescrip- 
tion like the following, "without a reduction of its me- 
dicinal value.

SYRUPI, (Syrups)— The general remarks made under 
the head of tinctures apply to these articles, with the 
exception that the use of a weaker menstrutim is compul- 
sory. As a rule, pour the fluid extract into hot syrup, 
and filter while hot. 

VINA — Wines— Same as above. Use for menstruiim 
Sherry or na ive wine with the addition of two ounces of 
alcohol to every pint. 

DECOCTIONS, Infusions Waters, etc., can be made 
from the fluid extract, using of the fluid extract the requi- 
site number of minims to equal the number of grains of 
the crude drug called for by the Pharmacopoeia. 

CONCENTRATIONS are either the powdered alcoholic 
extract of the plant, or the isolated resinoid or alkaloid in 
an impure state. In case of atropine, aconitin, and other 
pow^erful principles, the impure approximate principles, 
called "concentrations," are, oftentimes, more desirable, 
as the dose is somewhat larger, thus partially removing 
the dangerous features of such powerful agents. 

The "-caking" or solidification of these articles, is 
oftentimes impossible to avoid, owing to the nature of 
the article. An oleo-resin can Tioi be powdered unless it be 
dried (thus deteriorating it), by heat, or else largely mixed

"With absorbing powders, as sugar of milk, etc. Hence the 
caking is no evideuce of its careless preparation, or of its 
lessened medicinal value, but directly to the contrary. 
The absorbent powder should be noted on the label, and 
the proportion used, so as to enable any one to know the 
strength of the preparation wathin ; as for instance, on an 
ounce bottle of Leptandrin, the label should read:

SUGAR COATED PILLS. They are liable to crack, 
stain and swell. Cracking o5 of the coating is the result 
of the shrinkage of the pill within the coating. Staining is 
caused by the soaking through of the coating of the oily 
matter of the drugs within. These three methods for 
preventing this ill efifect are made use of by manufac- 
turers: (1) The oil is absorbed by magnesia, sugar or 
other powder, previous to the application of the coating. 
(2) The pills are subjected to great and continued heat, 
which draws out the oil at the expense of the solubility of 
the pill, or (3) the oil is omitted, sacrificed for the purpose 
of removing this danger from the coating. Hence this 
feature (staining) should not be regarded as of any injury, 
except to the beauty of the pill. Swelling is a result 
which cannot be avoided or foreseen. It may be caused 
by a decomposition, produced by heat, in the material. 
Ahvays keep sujar coaled pills in a cool place and well 
corkedf and the tendency to these results will be removed.

Calcined magnesia, 80 parts ; Animal charcoal, 40 parts. 
The iron solution should be kept in a separate bottle 
from the mixture of the other three substances, and 
should be added to it immedintely before using. This 
mixture acts as a perfect antidote to arsenic, and is prefer- 
able to ferric hydrate, because the latter deteriorates upon 
keeping. It also acts as a perfect antidote for compounds 
of zinc, and digitaline. and nearly so for those of copper. 
It delays considerably the action of salts of morphia and 
strychnia, and to a slight extent that of compounds of 
mercury, it has no virtue in counteracting the effect of 
cyanide of mercury, tartar emetic, hydrocyanic acid, 
phosphorus or the caustic alkalies. VI. A freshly pre- 
pared mixture of the sulphide of iron, magnesia, and sul- 
phate of sodium, acts as a perfect antidote for salts of 
copper, corrosive sublimate and cyanide of mercury. 
VII. Dr. Bellini, Professor of Toxicology at the Royal 
Institute at Florence, recommends iodide of starch as a 
valuable antidote in poisoning by alkaline and earthy 
sulphides, caustic alkalies and ammonia,andthe vegetable 
alkalies. In poisoning by alkaline or earthy sulphides, 
he thinks it preferable to all other antidotes ; in poisoning 
by caustic alkalies, it is applicable when acid drinks are 
not at hand.

ment, (a.) Hydrated sesquioxico of iron recently pre- 
pared (gelatinous and brown) is an antidote for arscnious 
acid, but not for the arsenite of potash, nor for the arsen- 
ite of soda, (6.) At a longer interval than an hour it is 
useless to attempt recovery from poisoning by arsenic, (c.) 
For arsenite of potash, and arsenite of soda the author 
proposes perchloride of iron in conjunction "with mag- 
nesia, (d.) The mode of administration is the officinal 
solution of perchloride of iron, and, a half an hour after, 
magnesia in the proportion of a drachm to S}^ fl. ozs. of 
perchloride. (e.) This perchloride of iron and magnesia 
is also an antidote for arseuious acid. Therefore, it is 
preferable to employ it always in cases of poisoning by ar- 
eenic or its compounds. (/".) An hour after the adminis- 
tration of an antidote, it will always be well to employ a 
purgative, in order to expel the ferrated arsenite which is 
formed, and as this arsenite is soluble in acids, to avoid 
acid drinks and lemonades. (M. Kouyer).

Asphyxia ane Ap^oEA,/rom drowning : 1. Give the 
patient plenty of fresh air, fully exposing neck and chest 
to the breeze, unless inclement. 2. Turn gently on the 
face, one forearm being under the forehead, and raise the 
body up, keeping the head down, that the water may 
have free discharge from the mouth ; or, place the body, 
belly down, across a barrel, and gently roll back and 
forth a few times. 3. Place patient upon the side and 
apply stimulants (ammonia, etc.) near the nostrils ; or, the 
cold douche^ in order to excite respiration. 4. Gently turn 
patient from partially on his face (the arm being under 
the forehead) to the back ; then to the face again, and so 
on, deliberately and preserveringly, and not oftener than 
eighteen times per minute. When patient is on his face, 
make even and steady pressure along the spine, removing 
it before turning upon the back ; and when there, make 
slight pressure upon the chest, removing this, also, before 
turning upon the face. 5. Or, the following mole of 
artificial respiration (Silvester's) might be employ^'" • 



Poisons and their Antidotes. $$ 

Having laid the patient upon his back, raise the arms up 
by the side of his head, keeping them straight, and hav- 
ing the tongue pulled well forwards; then bring them 
down to the side, slightly crossing the chest wdth them, 
making, at the same time, slight pressure thereon; con- 
tinue these movements deliberately and carefully, and 
not oftener than eighteen times per minute. In 4, when 
the patient is on his side, and in 5, when the arms are 
above the head, artificial inflation should be performed. 
6. Or the following, Avhich is recommended by the trans- 
Atlantic journals: Having placed the patient upon his 
back, with a firm roll of clothing under the false ribs, so 
as to throw their anterior margins well forwards, an 
assistant brings the tongue forwards, whilst the operator, 
facing the patient, kneels astride his abdomen, and places 
both hands so that the balls of the thumbs rest upon the 
anterior margins of the the false ribs, the fingers falling 
into tb.e corresponding intercostal spaces. With the elbows 
of the operator pressing firmly against his side, he throws 
himself forwards, using his knees as a pivot, forcing the 
false ribs towards each other, and upward and inward. 
This contracts the pulmonary space to the greatest pos- 
sible extent. The operator then suddenly removes the 
pressure, the inrush of the air and the elasticity of the rib- 
attachments force them out again, causing, by the dia- 
phragm's descent, an inspiration. Continue this not 
oftener than eighteen times per minute. 7. Having per- 
formed (2) several times, lay the body face down, the head 
upon the arm, and stand astride it ; grasp it then about 
the shoulders and armpits, and raise the chest as high as 
you can without lifting the head quite off the arm, and 
hold it about three seconds ; then replace the body upon 
the ground, and press the lower ribs downwards and in- 
wards, with slowly increasing force for ten seconds : then 
suddenly let go, to perform the lifting process again. 8. 
Laryngotomy or tracheotomy, with or without catheteri- 
zation, or forced insuflaations of air or oxygen. 9. Fric-

tions, fomentations, sinapisms, dry and warm clothing. 
10. Electricity ; stimulants internally. 

From strangulation : rules 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 

Note.— In artificial inflation, always press the larynx 
and trachea against the vertebral column, so as to 3lose 
the oesophagus, and thus prevent the air entering the 
stomach. 

TESTS. 

AcTDiTM hydroeyanicum : odor of bitter almonds; to 
the liquid add a few drops of potassic Iq., and afterwards 
a solution of ferric protosulphate, when a brown precipi- 
tate will fall, which, on the addition of sulphuric acid, 
instantly changes to a bluish-green, and finally to a full 
blue, 

Muriaticum : add a solution of argentic nitrate to the 
fluid, which gives a white precipitate, soluble in Iq. am- 
monise, and insoluble in nitric acid ; dense white fumes 
from the vapor of Iq. ammonise. 

Nitricum: boil over filings of copper, when dense 
orange fumes will be given off; stains all albuminoid 
substances yellow ; reddens morphia and its salts. 

Oxalicum : intensely sour ; oxalate of lime formed on 
addition of Iq. calcis, which is insoluble in an excess of 
the alkah. but soluble in nitric acid ; readily volatilize 
by heat, subliming in small crystals. 

Sulphuricum : soapy feel between the fingers ; heat 
evolved on mixing with water; sulphurous acid gas on. 
boiling with mercury. 

Alkalies (Iq. ammonise, potassse, sodse) : not precipi* 
tated on the addition of solution of potassic carbonate, 
as are the solutions of alkaline earths ; soapy between the 
fingers ; they blue reddened litmus paper. 

Antimonium: odor of burnt ve?;etable matter on 
subliming with charcoal, the powder at first blackening, 
then whitening, and finally showing the metal ;• to the 
solution add Tr. gallae, which gives a dense whitish -yellow 
precipitate ; sulphuretted hydrogen gives a crimson or 
orange precipitate. 



Tests. 65 

Argenti nitras: piece of phosphorus precipitates 
from the solution of the metal ; solution of arsenious acid 
in Iq. ammonise, when added, gives a yellow precipitate ; 
all the hydro-chlorates precipitate a white powder, which 
blackens by light. 

Aksenicum : sublimed on charcoal or red-hot iron 
gives garlic odor ; heated in glass-tube with charcoal it 
sublimes and condenses into metal ; sulphuretted hydro- 
gen gives yellow precipitate ; ammoniated solution of argen- 
tic nitrate gives yelloio precipitate; ammoniated solution 
of cupric sulphate gives green precipitate ; boil with mu- 
riatic acid, and put in a bright piece of copper, the me- 
tallic arsenic immediately coats the bright surface ; 
Marsh's test with nascent hydrogen. 

Barium chloriclum : drop in the suspected fluid a few 
drops of sulphuric acid, when a luhite precipitate falls, 
insoluble in nitric acid ; mixed with a solution of argentic 
nitrate, a curdy white precipitate forms, that is insoluble in 
nitric acid, but soluble in Iq. ammoaise; if in a colored 
menstruum, this is to be bleached with chlorine, the 
chlorine being driven off by heat before the last test can 
be applied. 

Brucia: dissolved and colored blood-red by nitric 
acid, which is changed to deep violet on the further addi- 
tion of a solution of a protochloride of tin. 

Gantharis : shining green particles of the drug when 
undissolved ; water precipitates {white) the alcoholic solu- 
tion, which is afterwards soluble in an excess of water. 

Carbonic Acid gas : extinguishes the candle when the 
proportion is ixQixn.\l\o\'b per centum, the smoke being 
seen to float upon the stratum of the gas; agitating Iq. 
calcis or solution of subacetate of lead in this gas (when 
much above 1 yer centum present) produces a white preci- 
pitate in the liquids ; agitating a blued (by litmus) solution 
of chloride of lime in the gas, the color is discharged, thus 
differentiating from nitrogen. 

Creasotum : peculiar smoky odor; instantly coagulates 
albumen. 



Tests. 

Cuprum : all cupric salts, in solution, or otherwise, 
are blm and grem; solutions generally have acid reaction ; 
Iq. ammoniie, added to a suspected solution, gives a 
bluish-2vhite precipitate, soluble in an excess of the am- 
moniie, giving a violet-blue .soluti(;ij, if copper be present ; 
potassic ferrocyanate gives a claret-red precipitate, or a 
reddish-brown color if the cuprum is present only in small 
quantities ; sulphuretted hydrogen gives a deep chocolate- 
brown precipitate; polished steel speedily coated with the 
metal if suspended in ihe solution ; pour same on aplatina 
plate, acidulate with nitric ai-id, then touch the platina, 
passing through the fluid, with a slip of zinc, when a 
deposit of copper upon the platina takes place. 

Ferrum: the soluble salts strike an inky color (and 
taste) when brought in contact with an infusion of galls. 

Htdrargyri chlo. cor. : Iq. calcis, or Iq. potassse gives 
an orange-TjelloiD precipitate , solution of potassic iodide 
gives a scarlet precipitate (Hg. 1^) ; put the powder (if 
poison in that form) with dry potassic carbonate into 
test-tube and heat to redness, mercury will be obtained in 
globules ; place a gold coin, wrapped around with a bright 
copper wire, in the suspected fluid, the white coating upon 
the coin assumes metallic lustre on rubbing if cor. sub. be 
present; drop a little of the fluid upon a bright gold 
surface, touch it, through the liquid, with the point of a 
knife, when an amalgam is formed ; solution of proto- 
chloride of tin to be added gradually, the precipitate is to 
be carefully washed, when a globule of mercury will 
remain. Iodide : apply some of the above tests for the 
mercury, and in addition heat in glass-tube, when the 
purple vapor of iodine will be driven off for the proto- 
iodide, and a yellow vapor (changing to red as it cools) for 
the biniodide. 

Iodijsium: purple vapor on sublimation; added to 
starchy solutions and mucilages it strikes a purple color. 
PotoMic iodide: solution of hydrargic bichloride gives a 
scarlet precipitate; mixed with starchy solution, and

treated with chlorine gas or nitrous acid, a blue color is 
produced. 

Mobphia: nitric acid, in excess, to quite a strong 
solution, or powder, produces an orange-red color (make 
this test only to cold solutions); solution of ferric chloride, 
neutralized by potash, gives an inky-blue color to a solu- 
tion of morphia (not to b^ applied to a very acid or hot 
liquid) ; mix iodic acid with starch, when a purplish or 
deep purple color is produced (not to be applied to hot or 
very acid liquids). 

Nux Vomica : aqueous infusion gives a bright red tint 
on addition of nitric acid ; a green color by addition of 
ferric chloride. 

Opium : same as for morphia ; ferric chloride turns an 
aqueous solution to a deep red color. 

Phosphorus : its peculiar odor and combustible prop- 
erties. 

iPLUMBi carbonas : powder rubbed in mortar with tr. 
guaiaci and a few diops of iq. ammonite, a green color is 
produced ; reduce to metallic state on charcoal ; if in col- 
ored solutions, decolorize by chlorine, when a solution of 
potassic sulphate will give a white precipitate ; sulphur- 
etted hydrogen, a black precipitate ; potassic chromate, a 
yellow precipitate ; dissolve in acetic acid, add potassic 
iodide, and a yelloio plumbic iodide will fall. The above 
answers, generally, for other plumbic preparations as a 
lead test. 

PoTASsii bromidum: starch or mucilage colored yellow; 
take up the bromine with aether, then drop into this a 
solution of argentic nitrate, when a whitish-yellow preci- 
pitate, insoluble in nitric acid or Iq. ammonise, falls; 
sulphuric acid, in a colorless solution, sets bromine free, 
giving the odor and color (.deep red) to the liquid. Nitras : 
deflagrates when thrown on ''live coals"; gives off 
nitrous acid fumes when hot sulphuric acid is poured 
upon it; if poison in solution, sprinkle morphia over the 
surface, then add a Uttle sulphuric acid, if niter present 



68 Tests. 

the morphia changes to a red color from the action of 
freed nitrous acid ; add to the solution sulphuric acid and 
protosulphate of iron, the nitric acid disengaged will 
darken the solution. 

Stanni chloridvm: Iq. potassse and potassic ferro- 
cyanide give wliite precipitates; hydrosulphurets, yeZ/ow 
precipitates; hydrarg. bichlo., a (^ra?/ precipitate ; argent. 
Ohio., a ivliite, curdy precipitate, soluble in Iq. ammonise, 
but Insoluble in acids. 

ZiNci sulphas: potassic chromate precipitates the 
yellow zincic chromate. 

^^NoTE.— TZow; to distinguish the alkaloids: Treat 
the powder with nitric acid which is colored red by 
Brucia, Delphia, Morphia, and (impure) Strychnia; if the 
reddened substance becomes of a violet color by Mding 
stannic chloride it is Brucia; if it become black, it is 
Delphia ; if soluble, evolving free iodine when iodic acid 
is introduced, it is Morphia ; if not soluble and will not 
decompose iodic acid, it is Strychnia. If nitric acid 
greens the powder, it is Solania ; if insoluble in aether, 
and does not redden nitric acid, it is Emetia ; if soluble in 
aether, does not redden nitric acid, is volatilized, it is 
Atropia ; if thus affected by ?ether and nitric acid, but is 
not rendered volatile, it is Yeratria. 

A. Husemann'a Test for Morphia is asserted to be ex- 
ceedingly delicate, as sinall a quantity as O'OOOOl gm. 
(nr ^-4^70 gr) of morphia being said to be recognizable, 
even in presence of organic coloring matter. It consists 
in heating the suspected liquid to 150°, or thereabouts, for 
a few moments with concentrated sulphuric acid, leaving 
it to cool, and adding a trace of sodium hypochlorite, 
potassiumchlorate, or chlorine water; a beautiful blue — 
to violet-red color— then appears, which soon changes to 
Wood-red and finally disappears.

and red litmus paper. The reagents are indicated in the 
several tests. The expense for an apparatus like the 
above, which is complete enough for any ordinary work, 
will be in the neighborhood of $5.00. 

Quantity: In health the average quantity of urine 
passed in the twenty-four hours by an adult is about 50 
fluid-oiinces, though there may be a considerable variation 
from this amount. 

Reaction : this is always acid in a twenty-four hours' 
collection, in health. May be alkaline from effect of reme- 
dies adminstered, disease, or a meal. 

Solids in each ounce of urine: Take the Sp. Gr. with 
the urinometer; the last two figures of this will give you 
the amount of solids in each fluid-ounce. Example: 
Normal urine is 1.018 ; hence there are 18 grains of solids 
in each fluid-ounce. Normally there are from 600 to 700 
grains of solids excreted in a day.

nrine be alkaline, acidulate by a few drops of acetic acid, 
before boiling. Excess ol nitric acid also prevents coag- 
ulation by heat. Tube to be one-third filled with deep 
yellow solution of picrid acid (Galipe's test) and to this 
add a few drops of suspected urine ; if albumen present, 
immediately there appears a sharply marked v^hite cloud, 
that, by heat, is made to coagulate. Phosphates or urates 
do not interfere with this te t. 

9. Uric acid: slowly precipitated by muriatic and 
nitric acids ; soluble in Iq. potassie (7). Plate a little of 
the deposit upon the platina-leaf and add a drop of nitric 
acid to dissolve it, and then carefully evaporate. When dry 
add a few drops of Iq. ammonice, when a beautiful ^r^^^g 
color will be developed in it. 

10. Mucus : urine generally cloudy, ropy and alka- 
line ; coagulated by acetic acid (11) in line fibrillateil bands; 
this is made more distinct by the addition of a litt le iodine 
and potassic iodide to the acid. 

11. Pus : urine generally acid ; pus falls to the bottom 
of the vessel; Iq. potassic form gelatinous mass resembling 
mucus; is albuminous (8) ; acetic acid aclionless (10); 
saturated alcoholic solution of guaiacuni exposed to air 
until it will turn green on coming in contact with poUissic 
iodide ; a few drops of this upon pus, moistened with wa- 
ter, strikes a blue color. 

12. Phospuatks : Earthy, white precipitate by Iq. am- 
monite or Iq. putassaj, which is soluble in all acids, but not 
by heat. Their approximate quantity is four d by adding, 
to a test-tub 3 one-third filled with the clear urine, a few 
drops of the alkali, and then gently heating. In fifteen or 
twenty minutes, if the layer of precipitate is found to be 
about one-third of an inch in height, they are about 
normal. Great variation from this will indicate their su- 
perabundance or deficiency. Alkaline, ijeliow precipitate by 
argentic nitrate, which is soluble in Iq. ammonise and dil. 
nitric acid ; obtained by filtering off the earthy ; the alka- 
line phosphates then being precipitated by a saturated

solution of magnesii sulphas. It is really unnecessary to 
filter off the earthy phosphates in order to get an '* approx- 
imate quantitative estimate " for ordinary purposes. To 
get this, add to a given quantity of the urine one-third as 
much of the following: Equal pa^ts magnesic sulphate, 
ammonic chloride and Iq. ammonia?, to eight parts of 
distilled water ; if the result is a milky-like cloudiness of 
the whole, then they are in normal quantity ; if cream-like, 
in excess. 

13. Cystine . Precipitated by ammonic carbonate and 
acetic acid ; soluble in Iq. ammonite (5), Iq. potassie, min- 
eral acids, though insoluble in vegetable acids, and by heat. 
Is a pale or/a?^;/i-colored deposit. Urine has the odor of 
sweet-brier [4]. 

14. Oxalate of Lime : condense by evaporation and 
use microscope [3] ; insoluble in acetic acid (6) and liquor 
potassas ; soluble in mineral acids ; sp. gr. high ; urine con- 
tains an abundance of epithelial cells and urea. 

15. HipPUKic Acid : condense by evaporation, add a 
few drops of muriatic acid, and you get the characteristic 
(microscopical) twig-like crystals ; urine light colored and 
odor of whey ; sp. gr. low. 

16. Sugar : (1) : quantity of urine generally greatly in- 
creased. (Before applying any of these tests, albumen, if 
present, should be coagulated and removed by filtration.) 
Lq. potassffi with heat turns urine deep brown, and if to 
this a few drops of nitric acid be added, the coloration dis- 
appears, and an odor similar to burnt molasses is develop- 
ed. Take of urine and the following equal parts: ]^, Po- 
tassii bitart., gr. 96 ; sodii carb., gr. 96 ; cupri sulph., gr. 32 ; 
potassoe, gr. 64 ; aquie, f S 2 ; boil and you have a red pre- 
cipitate (cupri suboxid.) if sugar be present. (This detects 
where Trommers' fails.) To the suspected urine add one- 
half as much Iq. potassaB, and to this a few grains of bis- 
muthic subnitrate, then shaking and boiling ; if sugar be 
present the black meta.llic bismuth will be found deposited 
upon the sides of the test-tube. (Eoe:ger's test.) — Vidaa

says, equal parts acid muriatic and ol. sesami, either 
cold or slightly heated, assume a distinct rose-color 
if cane or grape sugar be present, provided not less than 
gr. l-()4 of sugar to ITl 16 of the mixture be present. 

17. BiiE : urine brown ; pour a dozen drops on piece 
of porcelain, and to this add 3 drops of strong nitric acid, 
which will produce a change of colors, green and pink pre- 
dominating; or, add to the suspected urine albumen, 
coagulate with nitric acid, and the coagulum will shortly 
twvnbluisft-greenifhilQ be present; solution with plum- 
bic acetate gives a yellowish precipitate. Tr. lodinii pro- 
duces a beautiful green, varying from rose to yellow^ color, 
if added. No pigment but bile will give this green color- 
ation. (M. Mareclialt\s test).

dark, jetty-like masses ; made turbid by heat or nitric 
acid (2) and (8) ; 1^. Tr. guaiaci and ol, terebinthinse equal 
parts, and thoroughly emulsifying, add to this an equal 
quantity of the suspected urine, when, if blood be present, 
the sediment will strike a deep blue color ; if no blood, it 
will be a white or dirty green color ; precipitate the phos- 
phates by Iq. potassfe, which will be colored red, if haema- 
tin be present. 

19. Chlorides: white precipitate by argentic nitrate 
(12), which is soluble in Iq. am., but insoluble in nitric 
acid ; (as the silver solution precipitates the phosphates 
also, it would be better to add a few drops of nitric acid to 
the urine before making the test) ; a quantitative estimation 
is made by adding a single drop of a 1-part of silver to 8- 
of-water solution to the urine, and if normal (3/^ to 1 per 
cent.) there should be cheesy-like luinps produced which 
do not make urine more milky by moving the glass about; 
if they are deficient, a milJciness only will be developed. 

20. Sulphates: solution of the chloride or nitrate of 
barium (1 to 12 of water), or subacetate of plumbum give 
a precipitate insoluble in dilute acids ; when barium is 
lised a few drops of some mineral acid should be added 



Tests for Urinary Deposits. 73 

to the urine in order to prevent the deposition of the baric 
phosphate, which would otherwise be precipitated. If 
there then occurs a milJciness of the urine, the amount of 
the sulphates are normal. 

21. Fat : urine milky and opaque ; albuminous (8) ; 
fat comes to surface ; dissolved and urine made clear hj 
jEther. 

22. Coloring Matters : I, Urohcematin, obtained by 
adding 1 part of rcidum sulphuricum to 2 parts of urine, 
which fitvike^ a. garmt red color; ii brownish, over-much 
coloring matter; frequent in hepatic affections, pyrexiae, 
etc. 

II. Uroxanthin, obtained by adding 20 or 30 drops of 
urine to four or five times the quantity of acidum muriati- 
cum, or nitricum, when, after stirring, a I'ed or faintly 
violet color is struck ; if strongly marked, an excess of 
** indican" ; found in nervous, renal and serous affections. 

III. JJjverythin, obtained by an addition of a solution 
of plumbic acetate to the urine, giving o. pinkish precipi- 
tate; found in acute rheumatism, gout, and hepatic 
troubles. 

23. Urea : amount in specimen : place a drop on plati- 
num-foil plate, and to this add a drop of nitric acid; if 
urea in excess, crystals (uric nitrate) form at once ; no im- 
mediate formation in normal urine ; look out that albumen 
does not deceive you (8). 2. Having cb ansed the plate by 
bringing to red heat in lamp flame, place double the quan- 
tity of urine upon it, concentrate it one-half by heat, and 
then add a drop of nitric acid ; normal urine will instantly 
crystallize under this process ; the slowness of crystalliza- 
tion in the specimen indicates, relatively, the deficiency 
of urea. The crystals of nitrate of urea are readily recog- 
nized by the microscope as 6-sided laminse, or quadri- 
lateral plates, often superimposed; (see (13), which are 
smaller r latcs.) 

24. Tyrosin: greenish-yellow stars or needles under 
the microscope ; nitric acid turns urine deep orange ; the

yellow residue, after evaporation, changes to a red on ad- 
dition of solution of soda. 

Uraemia : it is said that a piece of glass moistened with 
sulphuric acid and held to the escaping- breath of such a 
patient, gives a white deposit upon the glass. 

Alkalinity: dependent upon Sijixed alkali, the test- 
paper undergoes no change by drj'ing; if on ammonia^ 
test-paper changes to the original red color. 

Note.— ^^a^ only dissolves urates ; potash, all deposits 
but the phosphates, ttud the oxalate of lime; muriatic 
asidj generally all deposits but uric acid. In all tests 
where reagents are employed, only a few drops of the 
reagent designated should be used to a test-tube one-third 
filled with the urine to be examined.

of fundus, with proportionate accessibility of finger to os ; 
(6) frequent desire to uriaate; (c) diseha:-e of vagina^ 
mucus. 4. Hieiiiorrhoids— increasing cedema of legs — 
pains in hips and loins. 5. Morbid action of mind. 

Essential. — True intermitting labor pains, beginning at 
fundus. 2. Dilatation— longer to open to size of a half- 
dollar than to complete the process; rigors and emesig 
common. 3. Muco-sanguineous discharge. 4. Formation , 
and rupture of "bag of waters." Tremblings and loss of 
consciousness frequent at completion of dilatation. 

Position and Presentation : If fcetal pulsation heard 
below a line dividing the uterus mid- way horizontally, 
vertex. If above that line, breech. If below , f.nd to the left^ 
first position. If beloiv and to the 7^ght, second position. If 
6<s?oi(; 134 pulsations per minute, probably male; if above, 
probably female. 

Pi-esumpilve proof of first position: 1. Heart beats plainest 
on left side (see above.) 2. Motion having been felt most 
on right side, as the ''fourth position" rarely occurs. 
3, Anterior fontanelle, having its long prong fron tally, 
being up and back, as regards the vagina, and generally 
being out of reach of fin'^^r. 4. Widest, and most depen- 
dent part of tumor in fronts the slope being backwards 
and upwards ; (if third position, the posterior part of tumor 
is lowest and widest in the vagina). 

EiGiD Os : unguentum belladonnae to os ; warm water 
injections; aether or chloroform to "lulling" effect; 
dilators, ipecacuanha or antimonii et potassii tartras ad 
nauseam. 

Pains : increase by ergota ; opium ; chloral. The two 
latter if deficiency dependent upon nervous excitement. 
Never give ergot unless you can complete delivery at any 
moment. Assurance from attendant goes a great ways ; 
electricity; frictions over abdomen; compression of 
uterus ; introduction of elastic catheter between uterus and 
ovum; warm water injection ; plugging vagina; rupturing 
of menribraneSy if they be ready to rupture. 



OBSTFTKIC r>EI'ART3IENT. 79 

During stage of expulsion, do not allow patient " to 
go to stool " ; use a bcd-pau. 

Xi^i^ow walking ow\y "when head is in brim of pelvis, 
and not after the os is dilated and the membranes ready 
to rupture. 

Placenta PRE^^A : haemorrhage generally begins at 
sixth month Aviih cervix undiluted andswelliug of vaginal 
region of womb. In these esiilier stages, rest, cooliug 
drinks, and lastly the tampon are needed. At labor, 
haemorrhage is during, not between, the pains ; rest, cool 
room, cooling drinks and astringents; ice; opium and 
lead to all'iy contractions ; astringent and iced injections ; 
tampon; rupture membranes (Simpson), and if this fails 
and OS undilated and below seventh month, separate 
placenta and extract ; should os be readily dilated, turn 
and extract child, after separating a single placental coty- 
ledon. Be chary of accouchemtnt force. Simpson says: 
''separation of placenta is safe compared with turning." 
Ergota, hypodenuit ally, if indicated. 

Foot Extraction, being seated close to edge of bed, 
with patient's feet supported by chairs, oil back of hand, 
introduce (a part or the whole) into the vagina and grasp 
both feet (if both presenting), making traction ; when born, 
the legs (the toes generally pointing backwards) are to be 
grasped higher up, the stronger, if not the entire, traction 
to be upon the one nearest the pubes, hereby assisting 
materially the proper rotation of the child for the head 
delivery ; guard against " a riding (being astraddle) of the 
cord " in this stage ; if delay in delivery of'head, reintro, 
duce the hand, insert finger into the child's mouth and 
Jlex the chin upon the chesty then use traction aided by ab^ 
dominal pressure, remembering the head, as soon as liber- 
ated from the brim, rotates backwards (face to sacrum) ; to 
prevent periuseal laceration, carry body gradually upwards 
over the pubes as it is *' born " ; the hip lying next to the 
pubes, and the same shoulder and portion of the head, is 
generally to be first liberated. 



so Obstetric Department. 

Turning : chloroform, opium, antimony, or venesec- 
tion, as preparatory ; lateral, or elbow-knee position of 
patient best ; oil all but the inside of hand; choose the 
hand that will best grasp the back of the heels, which 
most generally corresponds to the opposite side of woman's 
pelvis in which the feet are ; introduce it between the ab- 
dominal surface of child and uterus, membranes (if un- 
ruptured) intervening; one knee, the opposite to the pre- 
senting arm or shoulder, which is the upper knee, is 
grasped, and with traction and abdominal manipulation 
is brought down, the membranes generally rupturing. 
(Not necessary, generally, to bring down both knees or 
feet, and by choosing the opposite one to the presenting 
arm you get a rotation that more readily withdraws the 
arm into the uterus.) Traction can now be used to hasten 
delivery, if need be, all being the same as in ordinary 
foot or knee extraction. 

^^ As the knee is easier reached, makes less pressure 
upon the uterine wall during the rotation, it is preferable 
to grasping the loot. To discriminate from elbow, remem- 
her the convexity of the knee points toioards the face. In- 
troduce hand into vagina during pains, into uterus during 
intervals, turn daring i/deroa.s only. Unnecessary to bring 
down both knees or feet, save in rare instances. 

Hemorrhage during labor: prognosis for child is 
bad, and for mother also, especially if placenta is detach- 
ed ; in this latter case deliver immediately^ by incising os, 
or dilating, or both (if the case be not placenta previa) ; 
ergota, hypodermically or internally ; frictions to uterus, 
and kneading through abdomen ; cold abdominal douche 
or slapping with cold wet towels. 2. If ovum not sepa- 
rated, then tampon might be applied till uterus is dilated, 
giving ergota and keeping up abdominal compression and 
frictions to keep uterus contracted ; quiet necessary in both 



Fostpartum: head low, in horizontal position ; abso 
lute quiet; cool air; acidulated drinks; ergota hypoder- 
mically or per orem^ grasp, the uterus through the ab- 
dominal waUs and compress it; introduce the left hand 



Obstetric I)EPART3rENT. 81 

into the uterus and then compress it against the right from 
■without; compress uterus against the sacrum, ilium or 
pubes ; compress abdondnal aorta ; ice-water douche to ab- 
domen ; clap towels wrunj^ from ice-water upon abdomen ; 
electricity, continuous current ; transfusion ; ice placed to 
the OS through the vagina; never tampon. 

Collapse, or Syncope, from haemorrhage : quiet; head 
low; stimulants guardedly, 2& brandy, egg-nog, milk, 
punch, strong coffee with opii tr. ; compression of arteries 
of extremities in order to throw the blood more into the 
heart, brain and lungs. 

Puerperal Convulsions: venesection; chloroform; 
chloral • potassic bromide ; purgatives ; veratrum viride ; 
morphise sulphas; hot pack; hasten delivery; prevent 
patient from injuring tongue and lips by inserting cork, 
or piece of soft wood, between the teeth. 

Forceps: in lower strait, to be applied to sides of the 
child's head. 1. If rotation has not occured, rotate. 2, 
If occiput to pubes, traction to be downwards, outwards, 
upwards over pubes. 3. If face to pubes, traction down* 
wards^ outwards, and finely upwards over pubes. 

In supeiior strait : to be applied with reference to the 
mother, i. e., to the sides of the pelvis. 1. Rotate the head 
to its nearest position. 2. Flex chin upon the breast 3. 
Then traction, rotation and extension in conformity to 
the natural motions of the passage of a child. The fe- 
male blade should be introduced first. The introduction 
should be between pains, desisting as soon as they come on. 

Inyersio Uteri : replace at once, which is then easily 
done ; if placenta slightly separated, do not detach till 
reposition is achieved ; retain hand in uterus till it has 
contracted quite firmly, to prevent recurrence; ergota, 
cold douche^ and electricity to favor contraction; keep 
strict dorsal decubitus and abdomino-muscular rest for 
several days. 

Lacerated Perineum : avoid, so far as possible, by 
I. Having patient assume the "anatomical" position. 



S2 Obstetric Department. 

II. By supporting the perinseum and so direct the head 
up over the pubes. III. By inserting finger in anus and 
drawing this and the perinaBuni forward. IV. Holding 
head back during a strong pain, and then, in the interval 
succeeding, gradually push the rima vulviB back over the 
head. SurgkaUy treat by serre-Jines or introducing the 
requisite number of silver sutures to secure intimate co- 
aptation of the parts at once, unless health or accidental 
circumstances necessiate the delay. The knees of the 
patient should be bound together, and the thighs kept 
coapted during healing. 

Vagina : haemorrhage rarely severe ; pieces of ice, or 
mild styptics, generally suffice ; a tampon may be applied 
for a short time. 

Vulva : frequent, but not generally severe ; if into the 
•* bulb," hajmorrhage often alarming ; a stream of cold 
water, or ice, or cotton dipped in ferri subsulphatis liquor, 
should be applied to the vessels ; coaptation of the thighs 
and quiet necessary. Be careful of rectal action in all 
these cases. 

Always empty the bladder and rectum before any 
obstetric " operation." 

Dilatation of 2 inches for extraction of placenta, 2}^ 
inches for introduction of hand, required.

the fifth intercostal space, the auricles being on a line 
with the third costal cartilages, and extending a little 
above and below them. 

Measurements : longitudinally, 5 inches ; transverse-

center of sternum on line of fourth costo-sternal articula- 
tior. 

Area Percussional Dullness : .^ifperjidal, triangular, 
apex below left third costo-sternal articulation, the base 
on line with sixth costal cartilage ; does not exceed 2 in. 
in any direction. Deep, (brought out by strong percus- 
sion) corresponds to cardial measurements, the central 
portion being the area of " superficial dullness." 

Murmurs : aortic, whole length and (upper part) width 
sternum. Only murmur that is propagated into the 
carotids. If "obstructive," is heard with first sound of 
heart, maximum intensity being heard at second dextral 
sterno-costal articulation. If "regurgitant," is diastolic 
maximum intensity at the same place as the "obstructive." 
Mitral, " obstructive " blubbering murmur just before the 
first heart-sound, maximum intensity being near apex 
beat ; is larger than any other murmur ; never heard at the 
back. "Regurgitant" takes the place of, or follows, first

though rarely heard above third rib ; the base corresponds 
to line drawn from fifth left to fourth right intercostal 
space. Point of greatest iu tensity, near xiphoid cartilage, 
left side. Is a blowing murmur heard with, or taking tlie 
place of, the first heart-sound. Jugular pulsation patho- 
gnomonic when it can be detected. 
THE KIDNEY. 

Area op Percussional. Dullness : patient should lie 
on the face ; the long diameter extends from the eleventh 
rib to the crest of the ilium, and measures 4 inches; the 
transvei'se diameter measures 2 inches. 
THE LIVER. 

Area of Percussion al Dullness: extends from lateral 
surface of eighth right rib obliquely upwards accross the 
chest to 2 inches beyond median line on level with the 
fifth intercostal space, measuring some 12 inches ; superi- 
orly it is limited by the fifth rib, inferiorly by the free 
borders of the lower ribs. At the right of the median line, 
in front, the transverse diameter of this area measures 3 
inches ; on a line with the right nipple, 4 ; on the side, 4Xi 
on the back, 4. 

THE SPLEEN. 

Have patient lie on right side, when the superior bor- 
der will be found to be limited by the ninth rib; the in- 
ferior, by free borders of the "floating" ribs; this gives 
the long diameter and measures between 4 and 5 inches. 
The short diameter varies from 3 to 4 inches.

"SHORT STOICS." 

Adhesive Plastek : remove the plaster sticking to the 
skin by wetting with a mixture of ol. terebiuthinas and 
ol. olivEe, equal parts, afterwards Avashing off with soap. 

Alcoholism {acute) : emetic, or stomach pump ; cold 
douche to the head and breast; warmth to feet and limbs; 
artificial respiration (see page 62) may be demanded; as 
soon as can swallow, Iq. ammonii acetatis or aq. ammonise* 

An^stethics: all should be quiet; be sure patient's 
clothes are all thorougly unfastened ; never g\\&\n a sitting 
posture or upon a full stomach ; give slowly at first; should 
be given by competent persons. Pure chloroform leaves 
no odor after its evaporation. The following has been re- 
commended by the '' London Committee " as the most 
desirable form for administration : ^. Alcoholici,portio I ; 
Chloroformi, portio II ; ^theris, portio III. Give on flan- 
nel stretched over a wire frame. Watch: pulse, respiration, 
and countenance. Signs of danger : spasms; lividity of 
face ; feeble or irregular pulse ; -difficult breathing. Never 
give chloroform to a patient with fatty degeneration of

the hearty with a constant tendency to syncope, or -with 
a debilitated and deranged state of brain. Cold diet for 
24 hours after administration, to prevent sickness; iced 
milk the best. A teaspoon 'ul of brandy just before admi- 
nistration, will be found beneficial. 

'Local : Carbolic acid, 1 part to 20 of water, paint the 
part to be incised for 20 minutes, then apply the pure acid , 
it will not then destroy the skin. Incise immediately. Also 
ether spray or " freezing mixtures " may be used. 

Antiseptics for Wounds: salicylic or carbolic acid; 
comp. tr. benzoini ; as stimulant, balsamum Peruvianum. 

Apncea ; from drowning^ hanging, ancesthetics, etc., see 
pages 62, 63. 

From foreign bodies in air passages: if round and 
smooth, invert the patient and strike on the back ; laryii- 
gotomy ; tracheotomy. 

Of the new-horn : clean mucus out of no^•t^ils and 
throat; catheterize the trachea, and suck up the mucus. 
** Marshall Hall's method," by placing child on abdomen, 
then bringing into lateral posture (see page 62), repeating 
slowly and deliberately. " Schulze's method," by placing 
the thumbs upon the ant. surface of thorax, the indices 
in the axillae, and the other fingers along the back, the 
face of the child being from you ; rotate the child, by 
swingiDg upwards, so that the inferior extremities turn 
over towards you. In a moment re-rotate to the original 
position. Do not support head or legs in the forward ro- 
tation ; their bending upon or towards the abdomen gives 
a forced expiration. 

Apoplexy: palliative, as horizontal position, with 
head raised, cool air, quiet, constriction of clothing re- 
moved ; if stomach full, a non-depressing emetic ; 2 or 3 
drops of ol. tiglii on the tongue, ue less there is ansemia, is 
good practice ; cold to the head in all stages. If from 
*' shock," stimulating enemata and baths. " Bleeding " is 
■uncalled for save in unquestionable cases of congestion; 
where eoma is profound, showing considerable haemor- 
rhage, do not * ' bleed." Artificial respiration of use. 



$4 Short Stops. 

Bandage, Plaster : delay hardening by the addition 
oflittle size or stale beer to the mixture. Accelerate thQ 
hardening by the use of warm water and salt. 

Burns : carbolic acid lotion ; ^. acidi tannici 9j ; 
chloroformi gtt. xx ; cerati simplicis 5j. M. Spread upon 
lint and cover the parts affected ; or, 56?. liquoris calcis et 
olei olivae ana partes aequales, applying upon lint or linen ; 
poultice. 

CoiHYULSioi^s— epileptic: unloosen patient's clothes; 
horizontal posture ; fresh air ; only a partial confinement 
of motions ; cold water sprinkled in face ; these will gen- 
erally be sufficient. 

2. Urxmic: hot air or vapor bath; active hydragogu^ 
cathartics ; dry cupping ; hot applications to loins ; chlo- 
roform ; venesection (rarely). 

3. In children : fresh air ; loosen clothing ; sprinkling 
cold water on face and chest ; place feet in hot water to 
which mustard has been added ; a general hot bath from 
5 to 15 minutes ; chloroform, withholding it as soon as 
spasmodic movements cease; emetics and cathartics if 
from stomachic or intestinal irritation ; lance the gums if 
from teething ; chloral and bromides internally. 

4. Hysterical : diagnose from other convulsions by sen- 
sibility being incomplete ; pupils undilated and responsive 
to light ; pulse normal ; no biting of tongue ; no lividity of 
face. Treat by loosening clothes thoroughly; dash cold 
water on face and breast; close mouth and nostrils firmly 
for a moment so the patient cannot breathe ; assafoedita, 
Valeriana or Iq. am. acetatis may be given. 

Note.— In all cases of true convulsions place a cork, or 
piece of soft wood, or roll of cotton between the teeth of 
the patient, to prevent wounding of the tongue, lips or 
cheeks. It has been considered advantageous to place the 
patient upon the left side when convulsed. 

Epistaxis: keep head elevated and cool; make the 
feet and hands warm by plunging them into hot water; 
apply ice-water over the nose ; if alarming, resort at once 
to the tampon ; insufflations rarely beneficial. __ 



Short Stops. 96 

Fractures: simple into joints should be put up "with 
limb at most convenieiit angle, as anchylosis generally 
ensues. Compound ioto joints require exsection, if in the 
upper extremities, amputation if in the lower; that Is if 
they be important joints . Impacted should not have their 
fragments separated, hence be chary of manipulation 
Simple, with lacerated arterial trunk, cut down and ligate 
above, not on, the seat of injury. 

Measuring the superior extremity for fracture: I. extre- 
mity of acromian process to external condyle of hume- 
rus, {b). From tip of coracoid process to the inner condyle 
of humerus. II. From condyles of humerus to the styloid 
process of the ulna and radius. Lower extremity: Ant. 
sup. spinous process ilium to inferior border patella, push- 
ing the latter up as far as the ligament will allow {b). 
Crest of ilium to top of trochanter major. (6). Patella (inf. 
border) to either of the malleoli, (c). Ant. sup. spinous 
process ilium to either malleoli. If a line be drawn from 
the anterior superior iliac spine to tuberosity ischii, a nor- 
mally placed trochanter major will just touch this line. 
(N^laton's test line.) 

In warm- water treatment coat the member with oil so 
as to prevent too great swelling. Also clean off the pus, 
as it is apt to coagulate and so prevent a free discharge. 



' Always tendency of integument about a fracture 
to slough, hence see that your splints are ivell padded, and 
do not press upon the seat of injury. 

Frostbite : keep all warmth away till natural warmth 
comes back ; frictions with snow or ice-water ; cold ene- 
mata of spirits or ammonia ; dry frictions. 

Hemoptysis: salt; gallic acid; pflumbic acetate, or 
other astringents; inhalation of astringents from the 
atomizer ; nux vomica ; ergota ; plumbic acetate. 

Hemorrhage. 1. From teeth extraction : empty the 
sockets of all coagulum and plug with cotton, moistened 
with subsulphate of iron, over this apply a pad of dry 
cotton cloth and close the jaws firmly. 



96 Short Stops. 

2. Arterial: torsion; ligature; Iq. ferri subsulphatis ; 
actual cautery ; compression ; ice ; hot water. The last at 
100° to 115° applied continuously for 10 or 15 minutes, es- 
pecially applicable for uterine, or pelvic congestions. 

Hbat: prolonged at 134° F. destroys tape-worm; at 
160°, trichinae. 

Insolation (sunstroke): {no hemiplegia) ; absolute rest 
and quiet; free air ; loose clothes ; cold to head, chest and 
neck, as ice, douche, and sponging ; potassic bromide in 
cold water enemata; stimulants in frequent and feeble 
pulse ; venesection only wheu/wW pulse, livid face, ster- 
torous breathing, throbbing carotids ; same as to use of ol. 
liglii ; chloroform, if convulsions ; sinapisms. 

Lightning: recumbent posture; loosen clothing; 
stimulants, as ammonia, brandy, etc., by mouth or rectum; 
for "burns", see page 94; tonics and galvanism as 
•' after-treatment." 

Ozone: ^. Potassii permanganatis, 5j ; Acidi oxalici, 5j, 
moistened with twice the amount of water (by bulk), will 
omit ozone freely enough to ozonize a large room. The 
powder should be again moistened in two hours by a small 
amount of w ater. 

Phlebotomy: select the cephalic or median-cephalic 
vein. 

Sea Sickness : Amyl nitrite, have 3 drops inhaled from 
handkerchief. Potossii bromide internally. 

Spectacles : use cobalt blue and not the green-glass 
spectacles, for cases of photophobia, or where strong light 
may prove injurious to the retina. 

Syncope: loosen clothes ; fresh air; place patient in 
the horizontal posture with head low ; sprinkle cold water 
over the face, and apply volatile substances to the nose ; 
stimulants internally; artificial respiration; galvanizing 
pneumogastric. 

Tesiperature : average normal, of adults, 98.4° F. 
There is a diurnal variation of 1.5°, being highest in the 
evening. Exercise, climate, food and drink modify 
slightly, but a variation of 1.5° predicates disease. A rapid

Tise or fall is indicative of danger ; a gradual decline, of 
convalescence. 106° may be considered the general limit 
at which adult patients may recover. In a child the nor- 
mal temperature is about 1° higher than in an adult, and 
in commensurate febrile disturbance a proportionate in- 
crease of temperature is noticed. The axilla, mouth, rec- 
tum and vagina are the points usually .selected for taking 
the temperature, the thermometer being retained in situ 
some 5 minutes. A rise of 1°, when above 100°, is con- 
sidered equivalent to an increase of 10 beats of the heart. 
Tracheotomy: iLaryngotomy cannot be performed 
on the young; it is the opening of the crieo-thyroid mem- 
brane. In adults it is generally preferable to T.) Make 
incision 2 inches long, in median line, through the super- 
ficial structures above the trachea, previously selecting a 
point 3^ inch below cricoid cartilage for opening the tube; 
if arterial haemorrhage, control by ligation or torsion be- 
fore opening the trachea ; if venous, need not mind it. 
Divide three or four tracheal rings, holding the cut edges 
asunder by tenacula, wire, silk, or catheter, till trachea- 
tube be at hand, having previously rolled the patient up- 
on the side to favor the escape of blood, mucus, etc.

Introductory Note ta Day-Book, 

A system of abbreviation will suggest itself to every one 
using this as a daily register of charges, so as to make it 
as much an itemized account book as any in use. 

The author would suggest the following, which he him* 
self uses, as being probably as plain and brief as any. 
Thus, C>, just above a charge of dollars in the day column 
would indicate services as being Obstetrical. C, as sur- 
gical (Chirurgical); By services rendered for Babe; S^ 
for Son; D, for Datighter : F, for Father ; M, for Mother, 
etc. The amount of the charge made would show whether 
it was an office prescription, day or night visit, or con- 
sultation. Thus, suppose in the column corresponding 
with 2d of January, we find 2 with an S over it. This 
would show that on that date I had visited the house and 
prescribed for the son — $2.00 being the regular visiting 
price here in Detroit. If D was above it, it would indi- 
cate that it was the daughter, and so on. 

In case you do not care to ** post" to the Ledger, you 
can carry the amount forward each month, if you like, 
putting the total debit in the column headed. " Balance 
Due." 

THE MULTUM IN PARVO LED3Ea. 
Post-paid-$2.50. 

This is designed especially for the Dose and Day- 
Book, and greatly facilitates ** posting." It does away 
with all the paging and much of the figuring required ia 
the regular Ledger system. On a single line of a page 
the entire debit and credit account of a patient, in 
monthly statements, is seen for the entire year. It is 
divided into five portions^ and will accommodate 40© 
patients yearly for five years.

A New Vaginal Speculum. 

By C. HENRI LEONAUD^ M. D. 




The cut gives a view of the speculum when fully 
expanded. As now seen, the tips of the blades are 4)^ 
inches apart ; the inside measurement of the base of the 
blades being 2% inches. By the thumb screw attached to 
the lower blade, it (the lower blade) may be fixed at any 
point upon the perineal rods. When the base-extension, 
by the means of the perineal rods, is not made use of, the 
opening is then the same size as in the ordinary bivalve 



I specula. When thus closed, and the superior blade is 
' not elevated, the speculum is in form ready for intro- 
duction. The upper blade is ^ inch shorter than the 
lower one, thus allowing an expansion of the blades 
without the rubbing of the upper one over an inflamed 
cervix uteri. The blades measure, from the attachmcnis 
of the perineal rods, respectively 4^^ aud 5 inches in 
I length. The upper blade ha*? a fenestra which admits the 
urethra, thus relieving all pressure upon this sensitive 
ore:an when the perinanim is fully depressed The 
} lower blade also has a fenestra cxtcuding from its base to 
! "Within an inch of its tip ; this allows an easy probing o f 
an antetlexed uterus, bent to an acute angle, the probe 
being allowed to press down the posterior vaginal wall, 
j through this opening, until it can easily enter and traverse 
I the distorted cervical canal. 

The blades are well rounded up, and so relieve au 

excessive stretching of the vagina at their side^-, thus 

' making the instrument of easy introduction and painless 

I to the patient. Indeed, every patient that I have used one 

I vpon {and I have used them in 7nany cases, and in 'va{/in:r 

I of all sizes^ parties mairied and umnaiTied) has^ upon 

questioning Jier in regard to the matter^ declared that it 

gave her the least discomfort of any she had had introduced). 

You can make any operation upon the uterus or the 

I sides of the vagina with this instrumen* ; and by its use 

you may dispense with an assistant. When the perineal 

rods are used it is essentially a Sim's Speculum, only 

I a self-retaining one. It may be used with the patient c n 

i the back, or in the " Sim's position ' ', at the option of the 

operator. 

Each instrument is made in tlio highest style of the 
art possible, aud is finished, in full, in heavy nickel- 
plate, and vdM be warranted perfect in its action.
